Révolution Permanente (RP) is a French political organization adhering to Trotskyism. It was founded in 2022 as the French section of the Trotskyist Fraction – Fourth International, originating from the Courant communiste révolutionnaire (CCR), a tendency of the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA) until 2021.
History
Internal current of the NPA
The Revolutionary Communist Current (Courant Communiste Révolutionnaire, CCR) was officially founded in April 2011. It initially emerged as an independent current within the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA), named the Collective for a Revolutionary Tendency, which joined Platform 4 for the first NPA congress. It advocated for a revolutionary orientation, opposing several other platforms considered too moderate.Template:Secnec.
Departure from the NPA
A dispute between the NPA and the CCR led to the latter's departure in 2021. While the CCR accused the NPA of "long-term exclusion" and a rightward shift, the NPA maintained that the CCR had voluntarily left.
At the NPA congress in 2018, the leadership, historically linked to the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR), secured a relative majority. However, the CCR criticized the leadership for prioritizing an alliance with La France Insoumise over revolutionary goals, which they described as a shift towards reformism.
Presidential campaign of Anasse Kazib
After the CCR's departure, Révolution Permanente endorsed Anasse Kazib's candidacy for the 2022 French presidential election. Kazib's campaign was marked by opposition to systemic racism and fascism, as well as advocacy for worker solidarity. Despite gathering significant public support, the candidacy was marred by media exclusion and threats from far-right groups.
Kazib's campaign faced challenges in securing the necessary endorsements for official candidacy and concluded with 160 endorsements, below the required 500.
General strike network
In 2023, RP launched the "General Strike Network" in response to the pension reform protests. This initiative included mobilization of workers, intellectuals, and activists, aiming to extend strikes and coordinate grassroots movements.
